Confirmed programs while Postcoglou launches in search of the first victory as a forest boss
Angel Postcoglou takes care of the Nottingham forest at City Ground for the very first time when the Australian manager sets out in search of his first victory with his new club.
The boss of the forest was supported by what was, in the end, a frustrating but impressive point in Real Betis in the Europa League on Wednesday, with his team that led for more than an hour before conceding with five remaining minutes in a 2-2 draw.
The Midlanders, however, endured a difficult period in the Premier League so far this quarter, winning a single victory for their first five games.
Sunderland, meanwhile, experienced a decent start to their return to the elite, guaranteeing two victories, two draws and only one defeat to occupy eighth place in the table.
Here is how the two teams align this intriguing confrontation.

Postcoglou brings five changes on the side that claimed a point against Real Betis in the middle of the week, Nicolas Dominguez making his first appearance for the Reds since the last match of last season.
James Mcatee also made his first departure in the forest, while Chris Wood, Dilane Bakwa and Dan Ndoye also enter the team.

On the other hand, the manager of Sunderland, regis Le Bris, has only one change, Arthur Masuaku replacing the suspended reinildo, which was sent during the last Sunday draw with Aston Villa.
The teenager Chris Rigg keeps his place in the midfield alongside Granite Xhaka and Noah Sadiki, while the top scorer Wilson Isidor leads the line in attack.
